HOLIDAY PARTY We held our annual company holiday party at Water’s Edge in Centerport, and it was a BLAST! The evening was filled with glitz and glam, and there was no shortage of festive vibes with something for everyone- a jazz room, a nightclub, a live band, and a Joan Rivers impersonator live from our very own red carpet! We can’t think of a better way to kick off the holidays with our Signature Family. SignaturePremier.com
